10.01.2022 Our club received this email today Great work lions ! Hi Bryan... Just an update for you. Our member who was revived using both CPR and the defibrillator is recovering well in hospital. He had a defibrillator implanted today and may have to have a couple of stents inserted but he is happy and chatting and yesterday John and I both received text messages from him in hospital which was such a lovely surprise. He is out of ICU and in a ward now. One of the doctors told him that if we hadnt had the defibrillator on site he most likely wouldnt be here now. So thanks so much to the Lions Club for their great help. Kind regards Pam
